Fiverr Goes AI-First: 30% Workforce Reduction Announced

[ed]

Fiverr International is laying off 250 employees (30% of its workforce) as part of a major restructuring to become an AI-first company.

CEO Micha Kaufman said the move aims to create a leaner, faster, and more productive organization, with fewer management layers and a modern AI-focused infrastructure.

The savings from layoffs will be reinvested into AI and growth initiatives, helping Fiverr expand its freelance marketplace and automation capabilities.

This is part of a broader trend among tech companies embracing AI to streamline operations and redefine the future of work.
